The Fretty Grounds About the Corcoran Mansion to Be Cut Up into Lots. Special to tho InAiaoapoUs Journal Washington', June 26. The old aristoc racy of Washington are considerably exercised over the conduct of the heirs and trustees of the Corcoran estate in cutting up into building lots and advertising for Hale the beautiful grounds that surround the mansion of tho late philanthropist. Mr. Corcoran owned the finest house in Washington. It stands opposite the White House, across Lafayette square, and is enclosed within a high brick wall. Ho had a park that covers nearly an entire block, and one of the largest blocks in the city. This ground was precious to him, and he greatly enjoyed it. Tho flowers and trees were his special delight, and most of his mornings during mild weather were spent wandering about his grounds and sitting upon his lawn. The property is inherited by his two grand children, Mr. William C. and Miss Lulie Eustis, aged somewhere from twenty to twenty-nvo years. I hey do not annear to reverence the ancient mansion, as many of Mr. Corcoran'a old friends and neighbors do. and within a few month? after his death shocked the circle of their intimate acquaintances by advertising it for rent, but it is not a house easily rented. The rooms are few in number, bnt verv larire. and were arranged for the use of a childless old widower, who nj?ded only apartments enough for himself unci nis aiienuanis. ow mo jieirs uavn decided to cut up the grounds into small lots and sell them on the market. Being situated in the most desirable portion of the city, they will probably bring tho highest prices of any residence property ever sold here. MINOR MATTERS.

It is learned that an understanding was arrived at whereby the mails will be continued as usual. Indiana Pensions.
